Cheesy Manicotti Recipe

This is not enough cheese.

For some reason I tend to go crazy over cooking in the Springtime. It could be just because I don't have to walk and drive through snow and ice to get to the store. Anyway, if you're a cheese-lover, this recipe is for you!!

Prepare pasta according to the directions on the box. While the noodles are boiling, mix 2 cups mozzarella with 1 cup Parmesan, the ricotta, butter, and egg. Season with seasoned salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder, oregano and basil to taste.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.Pour about 2/3 jar of marinara in the bottom of a large casserole dish.Stuff noodles with cheese mixture and place carefully in the casserole.Pour 2/3 jar of marinara over noodles and top with 2 cups mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan.Bake covered for 30 minutes.

I LOVE manicotti, but I haven't tried cooking it myself. I will try your recipe...but just wanted to check on the amount of parmesan...should there be 2 cups of parm if you are mixing 1 cup w/the mozzarella for the stuffing and putting one cup over the top, or is it 1/2 cup for each part? Thanks for the recipe!
